Not that long ago, I re-read "Marie Roget," the second outing for detective M. Dupin, and I liked it so little that I didn't re-read it for this post.
Suffice to say, Poe tried to hype his fictional detective by having the character solve an analogue of a real-life murder case. This was not his strength and "Marie Roget" is thus one of Poe's weakest stories.
